Morning all
I've woken up today to a broken boiler and a banging head ache/sore throat!
Need to phone british gas at some point to call them out. I pay £16 a month to cover my heating and boiler so they will fix it!

Tescos is coming with supplies for tea, whatever that will be... lol

Have 4 cats and managed to get them all wormed and new flea collars on last night. Now it's getting warmer it's best to do this before they start getting any fleas. I have wood floors so I'm lucky that we have nowhere for fleas to live so we don't get many, if any at all, still like them to have flea collars on though.. They're banned from up stairs as I hate the thought of somethiing which scrapes its poo up with it's nails sleeping in my bed! lol

Handy hint for anyone with pets that are prone to getting fleas. Use a carpet shampooer to wash the carpets - BUT put pet/flea shampoo into it instead of carpet cleaner. Make sure you shampoo right to the edge of the carpets - that's where the little devils like to hide! This way you get to kill the fleas that are living in the carpet as well as the ones that are on your pets. :T

(hoover thoroughly next day - to remove the bodies!)

I rememeber when I moved out the first house we lived in had carpets all the way through. We onl;y had 2 cats at the time and I had the usual flea collars etc on, but as at the time they were indoor cats they didn't have fleas at all... that is until summer came! We moved into the house in the winter when att the fleas are asleep, in the carpet, waiting for nicer weather.. Over about a week the house went from flea free to COVERED in fleas. It was reaqlly really bad! You'd wake up in the morning and they would jump onto your legs and get into your pajamas and you'd have a ring of them around your ankles..
Turns out the person who had the house before us had cats and dog ful of fleas!
I had to totally flea the house top to bottom, they were EVERYWHERE! Took a few weeks to totally get rid of them! I still have nightmares about that house!
Probally why I'm always on flea watch in this house!

Does seem that way doesn't it.. maybe they're all off cleaning and tidying... lol, I'm feeling ill today so I'm not flying to hard today

I'm here but I haven't got much to say! I've tidied and vacuumed downstairs. Put all the Asda shopping away. Remembered to put out old shoes for recycling after my husband went to work but before the recyclers came - so he can't "rescue" any:D

The washing has dried beautifully, just one pair of trousers left on the line. The sun is really warm.

I feel like I want to do some more washing but the basket is empty.

Lunch is cooking.
